    C'mon - the OP mentioned HJ/NK and an M1 is not going to get anywhere close to those sounds. :)

    OP, if you don't mind the tiny size, the Roland JP-08 module will get much closer.
    That was my thoughts (JP-08)
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Another option could be the Roland System-1 (or System-8 if you feel flush). As well as being really cool synths they have the bonus feature of being able to be loaded with a 'plug-out' of a classic Roland analogue synth. Unfortunately you have to buy these separately... 

    The System-1 though is an excellent stand-alone. People slag off the keyboard but to be honest it's quite nice to play - as a non-keyboardist - and it sounds fantastic. it can be momophonic or limited poly and has a built-in arpeggiator. Furthermore, it's fun. I got one a couple of months ago, and I can't keep my hands off it! 
    The system 8 comes pre loaded with 2 plug outs now - the Jupiter 8 and juno 106.  Ive played with one extensivly and was about to pull the trigger - then realised I wanted a weighted board to learn piano first (and I have a fantom S which can get there - if not in real time as its a workstation).

    Im actually contemplating picking up a used JP8000.  4 ocatave and digital not analogue, but has all the real time control you'd expect and sounds more analogue than it should.
